mc²56 MKII Technical Manual V5.10.2/1 29
Chapter 1: Technical Overview
Configuration
Configuration
The mc²56 MKII can be customised by operators, technicians or Lawo personnel as follows:
Custom Functions
Functions such as user buttons can be re-assigned from the console GUI using the Custom Functions display:
Custom functions are stored at a lower level to productions. This means that any changes will affect all users.
AdminHD
At a lower level (not accessible from the GUI) are a number of files which configure the system’s hardware and
define settings such as the sampling frequency, and the organisation of signals within the Directories and
Subdirectories of the
Signal List display. The AdminHD configuration is an essential part of the system. If a
hardware component is not defined within the configuration, then it will not be visible to you even if it is powered
and connected. In other words, the configuration is always the ‘master’ of the system, regardless of what physical
components are added or removed.
The configuration is not designed to be changed by an operator, but can be edited by your systems engineer
using a software application called
AdminHD . For example, if a DALLIS or Compact I/O stagebox is hired in for a
production, then the unit must be added to the configuration and uploaded to the system before the signals and
parameters become available to the operator.
TCL Functions
At a lower level than AdminHD , a number of other options can be factory-configured using TCL (Tool Command
Language). TCL functions can only be programmed by Lawo personnel, and are designed to provide some
flexibility at the specification stage. TCL allows the logical interlinking of GPIs, soft keys and events. For
example, tally states, automated input allocation and fader starts can all be programmed using this protocol.
Console monitoring is also handled by the TCL protocol.
